My boss owns a 1.7 914 with a single carb. He is looking for a little more zip.
I forgot to ask year. I suggested going to a dual weber set up and maybe a better exhaust to add a few pony's. Any one up that way with a shop that can help him out.. He is not that good with a wrench!! Greg |

Moving from a single carb back to fuel injection would add zip. Decent header with muffler (you want some backpressure) will help in the torque department. Other than that, just make sure valve lash is set properly and everything is in tune. A healthy 1.7 is still a fun engine in a 914.
